Complicated Cyst
I am starting a new post since I have a new issue. So I went back to get my focal asymmetry looked at (6 months look) and they told me it was good news, that I just had a cyst and they would see me in 6 months.

Hello all of you wonderful ladies/people: I am a 36 year old teacher. That said, excuse my grammar and punctuation. -_- I am nervous and stressed.

IBC?
I noticed a raised red spot on my left breast, which prompted me to take a photo. I feel though that it was a pimple of some sort because it is now dried up and healing...gotten smaller and fading away. (Was there for only a week.) However, in my photos, I noticed little orange skin looking things on part of both of my…

feeling helpless- worried about pagets
hi, I am 43. 2 months ago I noticed some wetness on the surface of my right nipple (no redness, no rash)- my immediate thought was that I was pregnant. I was paranoid but my period came the following week so I forgot about it. I saw the wetness again a few weeks later- it was oozing out of the skin of the top half of the…

Microcalcifications and no mass shown on mammogram
First off, I'm so glad I stumbled across this site in all of my (tons) of google searches! I had a diagnostic mammogram today for microcalcifications that were found on my screening mammogram 2 weeks ago. Radiologist is concerned and told me "more likely than not, it is cancer". Biopsy is scheduled for next Wednesday. They…

Biopsy tomorrow
Hey all! Not happy to be joining, but am happy there’s a place to talk about this! This summer I began having some heart palpitations and a strange feeling, not breathing quite right. Also a very dry mouth! It didn’t happen regularly (other than dry mouth), so I let it go a while. Found out my thyroid was off and meds…

Dimple? Or indent? Need advice!
Hi! So, last week I discovered a slight dimple or indent underneath my right breast, it's only visible when I lift my breast up and my right arm, I guess when i make the skin taut. When I just lift my arms up, the indent isn't there, and it's not there when my arms are down either. The indent is very tiny, like a pinhole…

I have to get a biopsy
this is not my first biopsy and I’m sure it will not be my last. I’m 37 years old. To shorten this up yesterday I got a mammogram and ultrasound. One area they were really interested in and kept redoing mammograms and ultrasound is a area where I have a growing dimple. The dr said well maybe it’s a complicated cyst. So…

Focusing on the positive...
I have just realised that my breast clinic appt tomorrow is only to see the BS, and while I will beg her for an US, she may well tell me I have to come back for it, together with the mammogram. I feel such a fool, thinking my worries might be addressed so simply. Anyway, I have a cluster of silly things to ask, and it is…

Whole breast ultrasound and MRI
Ladies, I read these boards often but seldom post. I love this community. Turned 40 in Jan. 2021. Had mammo in Feb. 2021. Today, I had whole breast ultrasound as supplemental screening. Radiologist who came and spoke with me after was somewhat condescending. She implied that I really should be having an MRI based on my 26…
